pion-net is not intended to implement yet another web server, but to
provide HTTP(S) functionality to new or existing C++ applications. If
you're looking for a full-featured server application, check out Apache
or lighttpd. If you're working on a Boost C++ application and would just
like to use HTTP to provide a simple user interface or interact with
run-time data, then pion-net is a clean and simple solution.

Pion Network Library uses the Boost and asio libraries for multi-threading
and asynchronous I/O. This allows servers implemented using pion-net to
handle many thousands of connections simultaneously with a single physical
server.

pion-net also supports server-side SSL & TLS encryption when built with
the OpenSSL library (which the Debian package is).
